Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Each letter is shifted forward by 1 in the English alphabet.

For, READ → SFBE

Similarly, for BOOK → ?

So, BOOK → CPPL 

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Using the simple interest formula: Amount = Principal + Principal × Rate × Time

Given:

Amount becomes 2.5 times the principal in 10 years

Amount = 2.5 × Principal

Simple Interest = Amount - Principal = 2.5P - P = 1.5P

Using SI = Principal × Rate × Time:

1.5P = P × R × 10

R = 1.5 / 10 = 0.15

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Family Chart:

Given: 

X and Y are brothers → They are sons of A.

Z is the wife of Y.

B is the daughter of Z → Since Z is Y’s wife, B is the daughter of Y and Z.

So, B is the granddaughter of A.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The operation "$" is defined as a $ b = a² - b

Given: a $ b = 2 → a² - b = 2 → b = a² - 2

Check each option:

Option 1) a = 2, b = 2 → 2² - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2 

Option 2) a = 8, b = 1 → 8² - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63 

Option 3) a = 4, b = 5 → 16 - 5 = 11 

Option 4) a = 9, b = 6 → 81 - 6 = 75 

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1$.

The logic followed here is:

Find the sum of 42 and 42 → 42 + 42 = 84

Multiply the sum by 4 → 84 × 4 = 336

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

In the sentence "The quantum universe expands silently into infinity," the 2^nd words are quantum, expands, into.

Then, The 3^rd letters of these words are a, p, t.

Thus, Combining them gives the word apt.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4) apt.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'OYC' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'HXJV' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

BODMAS Table: 

Given expression: 5 (7 S 3) D 3 (8 P 6) V 7 D 11 (3 S 13 S 2) P 2 (41 S 9) = ?

Now, if ‘P’ means ‘+’, ‘D’ means ‘-’, ‘S’ means ‘×’, and ‘V’ means ‘÷’, then:

⇒ 5 (7 × 3) - 3 (8 + 6) ÷ 7 - 11 (3 × 13 × 2) + 2 (41 × 9)

⇒ 5 (21) - 3 (14) ÷ 7 - 11 (78) + 2 (369)

⇒ 105 - 42 ÷ 7 - 858 + 738

⇒ 105 - 6 - 858 + 738

⇒ 99 - 858 + 738

⇒ -759 + 738

⇒ -21

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "445" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

Given Statement:

The advancement of biotechnology has the potential to revolutionize medicine by allowing for the development of personalized treatments, but it also raises ethical questions regarding genetic manipulation and the potential for inequality in access to these treatments.

Now,

Assumptions:

1.Biotechnology has the power to create personalized medical treatments - Implicit (The statement clearly mentions development of personalized treatments through biotechnology.)

2.The ethical implications of biotechnology need to be addressed to prevent misuse - Implicit (Since the statement says it raises ethical questions, it assumes ethical concerns are significant and must be considered.)

3.Biotechnology will be accessible to everyone, ensuring equality in treatment access - Not Implicit (The statement mentions potential inequality in access, not guaranteed equality.)

Here, Only assumptions I and II are implicit.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Statement: The economy grew by 8% this year, the highest in a decade.

Now,

Conclusions:

(i) Economic reforms have been successful → Does not follow (The reason for the growth is not mentioned.)

(ii) Growth in previous years was below 8% → Follows (Since 8% is the highest in a decade, previous years’ growth must have been less than 8%.)

Here, Only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given word: CAMERA

The first four letters = C, A, M, E

We need to form meaningful four-letter English words using these letters, each letter only once.

Possible combinations:

CAME (meaningful)

ACME (meaningful)

MACE (meaningful)

Other combinations like MEAC, ECAM, etc., either don’t form valid words or are repetitions.

Total meaningful words = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The address given in the problem is:

Vill: Sangrur, PO: Sangrur, PS: Patiala, Dist: Punjab – 148001

Now, match this address with the given options:

So, only Option 1 is exactly identical to the given address.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 Only.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Each letter is represented by its alphabetical position (A = 1, B = 2, … Z = 26).

For, BxD : 2x4

B → 2

D → 4

So, the pair is written as 2x4.

Similarly, for GxJ : ?

G → 7

J → 10

So, the pair is written as 7x10.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

In a geometric progression (GP), the nth term = first term × (common ratio)^(n-1)

First term = 3.6

Common ratio = 1.5

Here, 3^rd term = 3.6 × (1.5)² = 3.6 × 2.25 = 8.1

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) Lok Sabha → part of the Parliament

Option 2) Rajya Sabha → part of the Parliament

Option 3) Vidhan Sabha → state legislative assembly

Option 4) Supreme Court → judiciary

Here, All except the Supreme Court are legislative bodies.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "36" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Family Chart:

Given: 

Mother’s son-in-law =

The man who is married to mother’s daughter.

Mother’s daughter = Rani (since Rani is speaking).

 

So, Man is the Husband of Rani.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Solve inside the brackets:

(2 + 3) = 5

(7 - 4) = 3

Now, Square the second bracket:

3² = 9

Finally, multiply:

5 × 9 = 45

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
